The Chinese Loongson has a GPU of its own design - so far it's only integrated graphics.

Published: 2023-01-23

The Chinese company Loongson has released a single-chip platform LS2K2000. It includes two LA364 processing cores with a frequency of 1.5 GHz, 2 MB of L2 cache, and an integrated LG120 graphics core. Thus, Loongson got its own graphics.


The peculiarity of the LS2K2000 lies precisely in the graphics core, since this is the first solution from the company that uses an integrated graphics processor that is not built on the architecture of a third-party developer like Arm or Imagination Technologies, whose solutions are often found in a wide variety of single-chip platforms.


Loongson does not share details about the characteristics of the LG120 graphics core. So far, nothing is known about the performance of the integrated graphics of the LS2K2000 processor. But it is unlikely that a chip with a couple of cores has a powerful built-in with high speed - it is rather an embedded solution, so just the ability to display a picture is enough.


The company indicates that the LS2K2000 single-chip platform consumes only 9W in performance mode, and 4W in balanced mode. The platform claims support for DDR4-2400 RAM with ECC error correction, eMMC flash memory, PCIe 3.0, SATA III, USB 3.0, network interfaces, HDMI + DVO, audio and SDIO.


It is also indicated that in single-threaded mode in the SPEC2006INT test, the platform scores 13.5 and 14.9 points in the fixed and floating point tests, respectively.
